I have just discovered via Xenforo's own forums that the predictive typing problems I have been experiencing on my Samsung are actually an issue with the rich text editor in Xenforo. While I use GBoard, apparently Swiftkey (another popular Android keyboard) is also affected. I have not tested with the native Samsung keyboard yet because, frankly, GBoard is so much better in other applications.
Basically, sometimes I have to select the correct autocorrect option multiple times to get it to properly overwrite the incorrect option. It often mangles things terribly rather than just putting the correct word over the incorrect one.
I have not heard reports of this from other Android users here, but thought I'd put it out there just in case.
Solution, apparently, is to turn off the rich text editor (I'll put instructions in a follow-up post). This will remove the ability to do things like bolding, highlighting, bullets, smileys (you can still do keyboard smileys like : ) though), etc. but if you don't use those much, it shouldn't be a problem.
Users who solely post from desktop systems and Apple devices should be okay. This only seems to be an issue using Android.
